[ In the very late hours of the night (or early morning depending on your perspective), there comes a message that's basically a stream of consciousness. ]

so, this mission. the location.
it's kind of like... my home world? or it reminds me of it
either way, it
got me thinking
and I realized I've been here
like a whole year? basically?

that's wild

I don't really know where I was going with this, I realize
I just needed to say it, I think
it doesn't feel real sometimes
it's a year more than I would have gotten otherwise, but also

it's complicated
I miss home
well, I mostly miss the people from home I think
not the actual place.

anyway, how long have some of you been here?
do you miss home, or is here better for you?
what do you think will happen when we're done here?
I think I just need to have some people to talk about it with, maybe
and I appreciate it

cruel, yeah, but considering I'm getting any time at all?
not sure I can really complain too much

yeah
it's complicated for sure
I'd love to see them again, but I'd hate for them to be going through all this sometimes

[ornitiers]

but still. i'm glad if being here is. hm, sort of like another chance? for some of us, at least.

i know what you mean. i miss my friends, but. maybe it's for the best that it's me here.

[hasitsthorns]

yeah!! it's a little... bittersweet, sometimes, but
it's still a chance I wouldn't have otherwise

yeah
I get that
but hey! you can make new friends here, too
and then have friends all over your world and others! that's pretty cool to think about

[ornitiers]

oh. you're right. that is pretty amazing to think about it that way...!

[hasitsthorns]

i'm glad
it does help me, sometimes
even if I don't get to, like, see those other worlds
it'd still be cool to know we're connected to them in some way when this is all over, y'know?

[ornitiers]

yeah, that's...pretty amazing to think about. to have friends from so many different places. worlds!

[hasitsthorns]

worlds!!
well, thanks
that helps me too a little
I was kind of down but... I don't know
it's not all bad
not that I thought it was, but
a year is a long time!

[ornitiers]

it is. i think that's maybe around how old i am? or close to it now. if you count my time here.

[hasitsthorns]

wait
what???
you're only a year old?!

[ornitiers]

mm. i was about nine months old back home, so. if you count my time here. i think it's about a year?
